Local Organizing Committee

Objectives

The idea behind the Workshop was to develop
timely scientific investigations with
the Gaia Data.

Collaboration Policy

In addition to a general Code
of Conduct, the workshop ran under a
Collaboration Policy that ensures transparency and openness
at the Sprints:

All participants at every Gaia Sprint will be expected to openly
share their ideas, expertise, code, and interim results.
Project development will proceed out in the open, among
participants and in the world.

Participants will be encouraged to change gears, start new
collaborations, and combine projects. Any participant who
contributes significantly to a project can expect
co-authorship on resulting scientific papers, and any
participant who gets signficant contributions to a project
is expected to include those contributors as co-authors.

These rules make it inadvisable to bring proprietary
data sets or proprietary code to any Sprint, unless the
participant bringing such assets has the rights to open them
or add collaborators.
